5. What is the Yellow Ribbon Program? • The Yellow Ribbon Program was established by the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008. This program allows institutions of higher learning (such as colleges, universities, and other degree-granting schools) in the United States to voluntarily enter into an agreement with VA to fund tuition and fee expenses that exceed the tuition and fee amounts payable under the Post-9/11 GI Bill. • The institution can contribute a specified dollar amount of those expenses, and VA will match the contribution, not to exceed 50% of the difference. • To receive the Yellow Ribbon Program benefits you must be enrolled in an approved program offered by an institution of higher learning that participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. Who is eligible for the Yellow Ribbon Program? • Students may qualify if: • Served an aggregate period of active duty after September 10, 2001, of at least 36 months and were honorably discharged; • Were discharged from active duty for a service-connected disability and you served 30 continuous days after September 10, 2001; or • Are a dependent who received benefits transferred from an eligible Service Member

6. What does the Yellow Ribbon do for our students? • The Post-9/11 GI Bill pays all in-state tuition and fee charges at public schools and tuition and fees not to exceed a national cap of $17,500 at private and foreign schools. Out of state students and those attending private or foreign schools may receive additional funds to help cover unmet costs under the Yellow Ribbon Program. If the students’ charges exceed the tuition and fee amounts payable under the Post-9/11 GI Bill and are enrolled at a participating school, additional funds may be available to you through the Yellow Ribbon Program. • Institutions of higher learning that enter into a Yellow Ribbon Program Agreement with VA will choose the amount of funds they will contribute toward your tuition and fees. VA will match that amount and issue payment directly to the institution on your behalf. What does Webster University have to do? The school must agree to: • Enter into an official agreement with VA • Provide contributions to eligible individuals who apply for the Yellow Ribbon Program on a first-come first-served basis • Make contributions toward the program on behalf of the individual in the form of a grant, scholarship, etc. • State the dollar amount that will be contributed for each participant during the academic year • State the maximum number of individuals for whom contributions will be made in any given academic year.
